A REVROSEEG! 


“It is the duty of a statesman to 
see the significance of events at 
their very beginning,” said the sil- 
ver-tongued orator of Greece in 
one of the finest passages of the 
most celebrated speech in history. 
Even at the risk of seeming to 
utter a truism one feels like say- 
ing in reviewing the term of the 
existence as a live factor of the 
University of Alberta that history 
does repeat itself. When shortly 
after Alberta became a province 
the question of a provincial univer- 
sity was mooted, there were 
doubting Thomases in abundance 
who for various reasons thought 
that the time was not yet ripe for 
such an aggressive movement in 
the interest of higher education. 
However, Dr. Rutherford, their 
premier and minister of education, 
felt that the psychological moment 
had come and in the years 1906-7 
a University Act was passed mak- 
ing provision for the establishment 
of the University of Alberta. In 
the latter year the Lieutenant- 
Governor in Council appointed Dr. 
Tory as President and on the first 
of January, 1908, he entered upon 
his duties and pushed ahead rapid- 
ly the organization work. From 


press extracts of that time various 
articles have been culled and kept 
in the archives of the University 
library the greater part of them 
friendly and almost all uniting in 
praising the energetic way in 
which the new President was get- 
ting his work into shape. 

On September 28rd, 1908, at 
nine a.m. in the upper flat of what 
was then Duggan Street School, 
Strathcona, the first class met. The 
student body numbered forty-five 
some four of whom were graduate 
students. .When we note that 
now as the University is nearing 
the end of its fourth year’s work 
the enrolment considerably ex- 
ceeds one hundred and eighty, and 
that the teaching staff thas increas- 
ed from four to fifteen, the most 
effective answer has been given to 
them, Critics Ole thee untvensity, 
scheme. Indeed the problem 
from the first until now has been 
to adequately house the rapidly in- 
creasing classes coming up every 
year. 

At the New Year, 1909, the tem- 
porary quarters were shifted to 
the new Collegiate building kindly 
placed at the disposal.of the Uni- 
versity authorities by the School 


q2 THE GATEWAY 


Board of Strathcona. Here we re- 
mained until the opening of the 
present session when the first 
building of the group soon to stand 
on the campus was ready for oc- 
cupation. This, which has been 
christened Athabasca Hall is in- 
tended for a residence, but part of 
it has been reserved for the pre- 
sent for teaching purposes, while 
the remainder provides quarters 
for some fifty-five students. 


With the exception of a number 
of honorary degrees which were 
conferred at the first convocation 
held in the Oddfellows ‘Temple, 
Strathcona, on October thirteenth, 
1908, the first degrees were con- 
ferred by our University last 
spring. Two students, Messrs. 
Law and Dobson received the B. 
A. degree, and Miss Robinson re- 
ceived the degree of B. Sc. in Arts. 
Four Masters’ degrees were also 
conferred, two in Science and two 
in Arts. ‘This year the first class 
taking its full four years in this 
farthest West University in Can- 
ada will graduate some fifteen 
strong. Next year’s class will ‘be 
larger still and indications point 
to a very rapid development in 
point of number and quality in 
the succeeding classes. 

At present work is carried on 
only in the departments of Arts 
and Applied Science ‘but steps 
have been taken to organize de- 
partments of Agriculture, Law 
and Medicine when these _ shall 
‘become necessary. All the ex 
aminations in Medicine and Den- 
tistry in the province are now 
conducted under the supervision 
of the University Senate, and the 
heartiest spirit of co-operation ex- 
ists ‘between the various profes- 
sion associations and the Uni- 
versity. 


Turning to what is more strict- 
ly speaking the student’s side of 
coilege life it is interesting at this 
time to observe the steady devel- 
opment. Immediately upon the 
commencement of the first  ses- 
sion the students proceeded to or- 
ganize for athletic, literary and 
other activities of student life. A 
constitution was drawn up, liter- 
ary and athletic organizations 
were formed, and the plan was 
adopted of having all student ac- 
tivities under the control of a cen- 
tral committee known as the Stu- 
dents’ Council. Mr. F. Stacey 
McCall was elected the first pre- 
sident of this committee. 

During the second year of the 
University’s life an attempt was 
made to start a students’ paper, 
but the financial side proved too 
great an undertaking and the pro- 
ject was abandoned. With the 
opening of the third year several 
facts became evident. 

In the first place, it was per- 
fectly evident ‘that the undergra- 
duate paper must be made to suc- 
ceed. A staff was appointed and 
went vigorously to work, with the 
result that The Gateway, a 
monthly publication, was produc- 
ed, and thanks to the generous 
support of the advertising ‘busi- 
ness men of the city, was a finan- 
cial success. At the close of the 
second year of its life, this issue, 
the culmination of our journalis- 
tic endeavor so far, is evidence of 
the progress made. During the 
year now closing over twelve 
hundred dollars has been expend- 
ed on this enterprise alone, all met 
by subscriptions ‘and advertising. 

Then it was recognized that the 
constitution which had _ proved 
ample for the needs of a small stu- 
dent body with limited activities

had become totally inadequate to 
deal with the rapidly multiplying 
interests of the growing _ institu- 
tion. So the Executive Commit- 
tee set to work to frame a new or- 
ganization which should be suffi- 
ciently comprehensive. After two 
years of constructive work and 
experiment a constitution has 
now been drawn up, printed, and 
placed in the hands of the stu- 
dents for guidance which we feel 
sure will compare very favorably 
with other documents of a similar 
kind. A notable addition has peen 
that providing for the erection of 
a students’ court to deal with of- 
fences peculiar to student life. 


During the last year some new 
departures of a gratifying nature 
have been made, notably in inter- 
university relations with the Uni- 
versity of Saskatchewan. We 
have had hockey and_ football 
games with them as well as a de- 
bate. In the last two events nam- 
ed we were defeated, but ‘hope 
some day soon to turn the tables 
upon our rivals. 


In athletics generally the Uni- 
versity of Allberta has taken” a 
large part in the Province. In 
hockey, basketball, association 
and rugby football our teams 
have competed with credit. We 
now hold the Provincial cham- 
pionship of junior and intermedi- 
ate rugby and next year intend en- 
tering senior ranks if it be at all 
possible. Our aim is clean sport 
of the best brand, which can pos- 
sibly be produced. So far we 
have been handicapped for want 
of suitable grounds and gymnasi- 
um facilities. However, the pro- 
gramme for this year includes, we 
understand, estimates for playing 
field, tennis courts, and a tempor- 
ary gymnasium which will fill the 


bill for several years to come. 

Nor have the religious interests 
of our students been neglected. 
Very early in our history a Y. M. 
C. A. was organized and has since 
done splendid work in conducting 
Bible study classes and Sunday 
services. We cannot but feel 
that an institution which brings 
us two such men as Dr. Mott and 
Dr. Grenfell in one year is well 
worthy of our highest gratitude. 

In brief we ‘have now in active 
operation clubs in rugby and as- 
sociation football, hockey, basket- 
ball, wrestling and boxing; a dra- 
matic society, glee club and or- 
chestra, as well as a number of 
debating clubs, and last, but by 
no means least, an exceedingly 
live student journal. 


In addition to these are two in- 
dependent organizations, one a 
club of women students called the 
Wauneita Society, and a farmers’ 
club called the Collegium Agrico- 
larum, composed of the farmers 
and farmers’ sons in attendance at 
the University. This latter organ- 
ization seeks to promote and fos- 
ter in the minds of its members 
intelligent interest in the agricul- 
tural problems of the province. 

Ass students we feel like utter- 
ing a word of appreciation for the 
work of the pioneers of higher 
education in the Province. What 
the work of Dr. Rutherford in 
launching the University scheme 
and that of Dr. Tory in develop- 
ing it as well as the generous sup- 
port afforded by the Province fin- 
ancially, has meant for us who 
have been able to get our training 
in a Western ‘institution in close 
touch with our requirements in- 
stead of travelling East for it, can 
hardly ‘be properly estimated. We 
can only say that they are states-

men who “see things in their very 
beginnings.” 

A restrospect over a progress: 
ive past is encouraging, but we 
would forget the things which are 
behind and reach forward. Bright 
as is the record of things gone by 
surely better things lie before us. 
Our situation is of the finest. Tru- 
ly beautiful for situation is the 
University of Alberta, with the 
beautiful prospect of one of the 
fairest countries sun ever shone 
upon or plough ever tickled into 
smiling forth a harvest lying on 
every side. With a virile and pro- 
gressive people from which to 


draft her students her success is 
assured. The Senate is fully 
awake ‘to the opportunity and five 
new professors are to be added to 
the staff next year. Several new 
buildings are in course of erection 
and every provision is being made 
for rapid expansion. To every 
son and daughter of Alberta who 
has aspirations after higher edu- 
cation we extend a cordial invita- 
tion to come and join us, and as- 
sure them that all we can offer in 
the way of fellowship shall be 
theirs, as we pursue in the words

Edmonton and the Poets 


Where the low white house 
above the ferry now stands, was 
once the lonely trading-post of 
Fort Augustus. But there came 
later to this post a wanderer from 
a London suburb. It is not likely 
that Apollo has promised to him 
as to Teucer of old “Ambiguam 
tellure nova Salamina futuram.” 
But he called the place Fort Ed- 
monton with admirable loyalty. 

Few places in this new land 
have been so named as to call up 
such rich literary recollections. 
For the suburb of Edmonton has 
been prominent in the two great- 
est periods of English literary his- 
tory. If you ask the school-boy 
about Edmonton he will probably 
recall the farcical picnic of the Gil- 
pin family who went to “The Bell 
of Edmonton so gay.” Cowper’s 
homely doggerel is characteristic- 
ally Bank-Holiday humor; it may 
still be enjoyed if you are fortun- 
ate enough to get hold of Ran- 
dolph Caldecott’s masterly illus- 
trations. 

But we do not associate this fa- 
mous posting-inn with the poet of 
Olney; we think rather of the 
last tragic days of Lamb and his 
sister Mary. She had just passed 
from influenza “to her usual mala- 
dy,” when they came to Mr. Wal- 
den’s Cottage in Church Street 
where she had been nursed before. 
“Tt was their last move together.” 
The trim, quiet, grey house with 
the grass plot, the daily excite- 
ment of the coach passing through 
the village along the Great North 
Road, the occasional visits of “old 
familiar faces,” the present of «a 
hare, the morning walk to the 
Bell; these things make a quaint 
harmony with our recollections of 
the essays. Serjeant Talfourd 


comes now and then to cheer him; 
news of Coleridge’s death strikes 
him desolatingly; shortly after- 
wards, the gentle Elia is buried in 
the village churchyard. 

A greater name than that of 
Charles Lamb is joined with his 
on a‘memorial stone at Edmonton. 
The suburb of Enfield, also on the 
Great North Road, was a bright 
idle rose-gardened village when 
the boy John Keats—apparently 
showing the Cornish blood in him 
—fought his way through school. 
It is recorded that Keats “in his 
childhood was not attached to 
books. His penchant was for 
fighting. He would fight anyone 
—morning, noon, and night—his 
brother among the rest.” His 
parents died, however; so in 1810 
the boy was sent to stay with his 
grandmother at Edmonton, and 
at the same time was apprenticed 
to Mr. Hammond, the village apo- 
thecary. Soon after he became 
suddenly responsive to ‘the thrill 
of poetry from his friend Cowden 
Clarke’s reading of the Faerie 
Queene. But, as we know from 
that precocious piece of word-ma- 
gic “I stood tiptoe on a little hill,” 
he had long before felt the charm 
of natural beauty. Such lines as 
“a filbert hedge with wild-briar 
overtwined,” “the quaint and cur- 
ious bending of a fresh woodland 
alley,” “let a lush laburnum over- 
sweep them,” “the ripples seem 
right glad to reach those cresses, 
And cool themselves among the 
emerald tresses” ‘are a young 
poet’s tribute to the “dear delight 
of this fair world” as he saw it 
round Enfield Chase and Wal- 
tham Forest. 

Yet Edmonton had had “a local 
habitation and a name” long be- 


20 


fore that time. Two dramas of 
the Elizabethan age had it in their 
titles. Such a fact indicates a 
certain attractiveness. No other 
suburb had the distinction of so 
frequent reference in the plays of 
that age. Windsor, Moorfield’s, 
Pimlico, Finsbury are mentioned, 
but the ‘happy hunting ground of 
comedy was the district around 
Edmonton. It is with some curi- 
osity that we turn to these dramas 
to discover glimpses of that rustic 
charm which inspired the poet of 
“Endymion.” In that boisterous 
burlesque. “The Knight of the 
Burning Pestle,’ Humphrey the 
apprentice-suitor declares that 
Luce has sworn she will marry no 
man but that one “whose mighty 
arm” will carry her bodily away 
“till both of us arrive at her re- 
quest, some ten miles off in the 
wild Waltham Forest ;” that is, as 
we afterwards find to be the Bell 
at Waltham,—the village beyond 
Enfield—and apparently romantic 
enough for an elopement. In the 
next scene we find Ralph, a traves- 
ty of Don Quixote, addressed thus 
by his fellow-apprentice turner 
dwarf: “Mirror of Knighthood, 
this is, as I take it, the perilous 
Waltham-down; in whose ‘bottom 
stands the enchanted valley,” Jas- 
per, the rival suitor and Luce, 
meanwhile, lose their way in “the 
darkness of this wild unpeopled 
place.” This very popular farce 
by Beaumont and Fletcher—chief- 
ly Beaumont—was first played 
about 1609; so that Waltham For- 
est had already figured in “The 
Merrie Devil of Edmonton.” ‘The 
titular character is one, Peter Fa- 
bel, whose notoriety is thus com- 
memorated: “Here lieth P. F. 
upon whom this fable was fathered 
that he by ‘his wittie devises be- 
guiled the devil; belike he was 


THE GATEWAY 


some ingenious gentleman who did 
use some sleightie trickes for his 
owne disports.” Edmonton, near 
by, with its “wild unpeopled 
place” was certainly a likely habi- 
tat for “the ingenious gentleman.” 
I wonder how many of Peter’s 
descendants have heard “the Call 
of the West.” Baffled in one of 
his “wittie devises” Peter makes a 
threat, “I’ll drive the deer from 
Waltham in their walks, and 
scatter them like sheep in every 
field.” And this, remember, was 
ten miles from Cheapside! 

The writers of a later drama in 
their prologue stated: 

“The town of Edmonton hath 
lent the stage, a devil and a witch 
both in an age.” ‘This drama was 
“The Witch of Edmonton” played 
at the Cock-Pit in 1628... Ford, 
Dekker and Rowley collaborated 
in this domestic tragedy of the 
weakness and crime of Frank ‘Ter- 
ningham. ‘There is little “local 
color” in it, but the plot of Mother 
Sawyer, the witch, and the comedy 
of Caddy Banks and his  yokel 
comrades at their Morris-dances 
have Dekker’s characteristic real- 
ism. 

There is no hint in these of di- 
rect appreciation of nature: the 
“fresh woodland alley” of Keats is 
to the early dramatist “a wild un- 
peopled place.” Yet they show 
us the healthy out-door loving 
spirit of the English yoeman: they 
“wait the scent of the ‘hay-field 
across the footlights.”’ 

It is something even to live ina 
place, the very name of which can- 
not dull by the utmost familiarity 
the lustre of association with those 
spacious times of Great Elizabeth 
or such cherished names as those 
of Cowper, Lamb, and Keats.

The Popular Song 


Popular taste in music has fallen 
to a deplorable level and the indi- 
cations are that it is still going 
down. Perhaps it is not fair to 
say music for the airs of many 
popular songs are bright and 
catchy. But it is true that the 
words to ‘which these-songs are 
set, are at once meaningless, insi- 
pid and vulgar. It is to be expec- 
ted that in the five-cent theatre 
many songs will ‘be heard which 
are frankly sentimental and they 
supply a commendable substitute 
for ’Arry and ’Arriette’s nocturnal 
spooning and gushing on a bench 
in the park or their plunging 
around in the fetid atmosphere of 
the dance hall performing the well 
known “puppy-hug.” As a substi- 
tute for this the popular sentimen- 
tal song is defensible. But the 
following scene is in no way to be 
defended. A group of college 
men and women are gathered 
around the piano lustily singing 
the following words: “Honey 
Bunch! Honey Bunch! lift the lid. 
Slip me a loving kiss, Oh! you 
kKidiensiheyearesnoteto, De ex- 
cused: they know better. The 
preceding extract is quoted from 
a recent poem entitled, the “Cu- 
banola Glide,” the school of poets 
who produced that weed is respon- 
sible for a large crop of similar 
vegetables. Here is another 
sweet-smelling blossom. “Put 
your arms around me honey, hold 
me tight. Huddle up and cuddle 


up with all your might.” A man 
has to be a regular Hackenschmidt 
to make love in these strenuous 
days and he must lose no time 
about it if he is to follow the ad- 
vice of the cuckoo clock over the 
parlour sopha which says, “Get to- 
gether! get together, get together.’ 
We are reminded of the last page 
in one hundred percent of the mo- 
dern sex novels, “George swiftly 
seized her and crushed her to him 
with a dry sob of ecstacy.” The 
same athletic motions are depic- 
ted as in the previous quotation 
“with all your might.” Cupid will 
have to discard his bow and ar- 
rows in favor of the punching bag 
and the Sandow exerciser. Nur- 
sery rhymes are sometimes keenly 
satirical. Do you remember this 
one? 


Ile smacked his lips and then he 
kissed her. 

He kissed her so hard he raised a 
blister. 


John Ruskin once remarked, 
“Vulgarity is want of sensation” 
and his remark seems to strike at 
the root of the popular song. The 
world is suffering with an epide- 
mic of vulgarity; it has ceased to 
feel; it has ceased to ‘have any 
imagination. Surely the men and 
women of the universities are call- 
ed to lead the world in the path of 
finer feelings and keener imagina- 
tion. 

And surely they must have 
some doubts as to the efficacy of

their calling when college halls re- 
sound to such lyrics of the gutter 
as Stop! Stop! Stop! (in which

THE ’ORIBBLE ’ISTORY OF WILLIE 


A Pome 


Bill Daley was a farmer’s son from down near Vegreville 

And nothing in the line of work looked good to little Bill. 

He’d been four years at college, but as often is the way, 

About the only thing he’d learned was “Polly vous francais?” 
He’d also picked up several tricks that are not taught at school, 
Like wearing noisy garments, smoking pipes, and playing pool— 
‘The only solid work he did was every week or two 

To write his dear old dad at home, and ask him to come thro’. 
As. long as father coughed the coin, Bill didn’t care a speck— 
And poor old foolish Daley always sent his son the cheque. 
Rut one day after writing home his usual demand 

He got a letter by return in Father’s well known hand— 

He quickly tore the cover off to see what Dad had said, 

But almost took a fainting-fit, for this is what he read :— 


“Dear Bill:— 

For 20 yeares i’ve worked and toiled and almost bled, To 
keep yure ugley gaping mouth supplied with Daley bread. Ive 
paid out munny by the pail to let you stay at skool—I’ve put my 
arm out writing cheques to let you play the fool—While I am erning 
dollar bills by bustin piles of rocks; yure spendin more’n hali | 
earn on fancy colored socks. ‘Take notice Bill that after this when 
you require dough; you’ve got to wurk for it yourself or else to 
jail you go. ‘There ain’t no further easy cash frum Father to be 
had—And now as always, I remain 

Your ever lovin’ 
Dad.” 


* * * * * 


What need to dwell upon the awful ending of this tale— 

Next morning as the golden sun rose from the eastern vale—- 

- When William Daley’s landlady went up to make his hed, 

She found the shock had ‘been too much and Bill was lying dead. 
She stuffed him in a packing box with mourning ribbons decked 
Then sent him to the station and expressed him home “collect.” 
So ended Willie’s history, a tale with sorrow fraught, 

Tlow sad it is that Willie didn’t act the way he ought! 

He might have studied hard at night, and even some fine day 
Have got to be the president of his Y. M. C. A.! 

But no! He rather went the pace, led on I know not how; 

And oh you wicked Willie! We all know where you are now!

The World at Large 


Quidquid agunt homines 


England has passed through an 
exceedingly trying month in her 
political and industrial history. 
The effects of the total cessation 
of work in the coal fields on March 
{st were soon translated into 
terms that other trades and call- 
ings could appreciate, and the sus- 
pension of work in hundreds of 
large factories caused great dis- 
tress in all industrial centres. But 
of course the pinch of the first 
month would be mild compared to 
what the second and the third 
would bring, and hence the great 
anxiety of the government to 
achieve ‘an immediate settlement. 
Premier Asquith has worked with 
unflagging zeal at the task, and is 
in the opinion of most thoughtful 
men, to be credited with what will 
likely prove a settlement, wherein 
no position is conceded which 
would make the rate of wages in 
any industry liable to arbitrary 
fixation by act of Parliament. The 
striking miners demanded in the 
H.G.NOLAN Sec. A.L.CARR Treas. first instance that in the Minimum 
Wage Bill there be inserted a 
clause fixing the minimum district 
by district at a figure they had de- 
termined by rough and ready 
methods of calculation; obviously 
the Prime Minister could not ac- 
cept this proposal. The miners 
then required of him the insertion 
of a clause fixing a general mini- 
mum for all districts of five shil- 
lings a man and two shillings a 
boy per day. But it was equally 
impossible to accept this demand; 
to legislate arbitrarily a universal 
minimum wage in one industry 
was to invite all to ask similar leg- 
islation. The bill as finally passed 
provides for the fixing by law of a

minimum wage to be adjusted dis- 
trict by district through boards of 
arbitrators; pending such settle- 
ments the men are urged to return 
to work. ‘They are now voting on 
the latter question, and by April 
4, when the ballot is completed, it 
is expected that a great majority 
will endorse the proposal. Thus in 
a few days more the silent wheels 
should be turning again. ‘The 
writer, having made some endeav- 
or during the past month to look 
into the history and conditions of 
coal mining in England, is impel- 
led to record here his satisfaction 
at the miners’ substantial victory. 

It is difficult to apprehend exact- 
ly what reasons, if any, prompted 
the militant suffragettes to burst 
out at this critical economic junc- 
ture with a campaign of window- 
smashing. Mrs. Pankhurst and 
Mrs, Pethick Lawrence are admit- 
ted to be women of high intellec- 
tual ability, yet they chose a time 
when the nation’s nerves were 
shaken over the coal strike, and a 
time moreover when the chances 
of passing a woman’s suffrage bill 
in Parliament were rather bright, 
for a rampage against plate-glass. 
No doubt as a result of this the 
second reading of the Conciliation 
Bill, a partial measure of enfran- 
chisement, has been defeated by 
222 votes to 208. It should, how- 
ever be observed that 40 of the 
222 votes which carried tthe day 
were Irish, while not one of that 
nationality voted with the 208. 
Some of the rabid anti-suffragists 
of the Cromer and Curzon type 
must feel a little sick over the 
momentary triumph of their cause 
being due ‘to the hated Gael. Asa 
matter of fact, however, the Con- 
ciliation Bill deserved defeat; Mr. 
A. J. Balfour was entirely right in 
saying that the equal suffrage

friends cannot work ‘the much- 
advocated “recall? = upon him, 
Meantime we observe with amuse- 
ment that the London “Spectator” 
(March 9, 1912) has hurried to

Congress is putting through a 
measure designed to render more 
easy the taking up of homesteads 
on the Republic’s domain. Cana- 
dian competition has rendered this 
necessary. The move is very flat- 
tering, provided of course that our 
own homesteading law is not too 
mistakenly generous in its terms 
and enforcement One hears queer 
tales sometimes about the latter. 

‘The United States is not without 
its prospect of a coal strike. Its 
settlement would be more difficult 
than has apparently proved the 
case in England. the difference is 
that the English workmen on the 
whole trust their legislators, while 
American workmen are absolutely 
without confidence in theirs.

In Canada we note the return of 
Premier McBride in British Col- 
umbia with what is practically a 
solid house behind him. It is a 
matter for deep regret that this 
should be the case; under our 
form of government an opposition 
is a practical necessity. Moreover 
as Mr. McBride’s policy was main- 
ly one of a general “handout,” it 
would appear that all British Col- 
umbia’s constituencies are open to 
that sort of appeal. We foresee 
trouble for Mr. McBride both be- 
cause of his policy and the some- 
what over zealous commendation 
it has received. 

Queen’s University, Kingston, 
which has long been under the 
wing of the Presbyterian Church 
in Canada, having at length effect- 
ed its escape therefrom largely, no 
doubt, to make itself eligible for 
consideration under the Carnegie 
scheme of pensions ‘has ‘been ap- 
plying to the Federal Parliament 
for a charter as a “national” uni- 
versity. The bill contained a most 
objectionable test clause of a re- 
ligious character to which mem- 
bers of the teaching staff were to 
be subjected upon appointment. 
The country at large or at all 
events that portion of it which 
really believes in religious liberty, 
has to thank Canadian Hebrews 
for challenging this reactionary 
proposal. Only seven members of 
Parliament were found with suffi- 
cient courage to oppose the second 
reading, but meantime the agita- 
tion had done its work and the 
clause which formerly required 
that all officers of the University 
should profess Christianity, will in 
the Senate be amended to read 
that the trustees shall satisfy 
themselves of the Christian char- 
acter of any one appointed to the

teaching staff, nothing being said 
of other officers. The trustees ex- 
plain that the new test simply 
means that the teaching appointee 
shall be a fairly decent citizen, able 
to keep out of Kingston’s other 
great institution, but that tthe 
clause had to be put as it is to sat- 
isfy the General Assembly. Serv- 
ing God and Mammon has been a 
hard business in every age. The 
incident serves meantime to re- 
mind us that eternal vigilance is 
‘the price of all liberty, including

University The outlook for 
Development. the University of 

Alberta is better 
now than ever before. Plans are be- 
ing made to enhance its standing 
among the educational institu- 
tions of the continent, and, what 
is equally interesting to the stu- 
dents, to place our Alma Mater 
high on the list of “Student” Uni- 
versities. 


Our young enterprise has been 
exceedingly fortunate in having 
associated with it some of the fin- 
est scholarship that could be ob- 
tained. To the present large staff 
in all probability seven new men 
will be added. ‘This will make our 
faculty one of the best equipped in 
Canada in proportion to the num- 
ber of students. In addition to 
other developments, several de- 
partments have been organized, 
and will be opened next fall, for 
example the departments of Geol- 
ogy and Biology. A department 
of Education is likely to be estab- 
lished. In that event the history 
and development of education will 
form part of the undergraduate 
course. 


During the next year ample evi- 
dence will be given that the Uni- 
versity has the varied interests of 
the students in mind. Provision 
is being made to accommodate a 
larger number of students. Be- 
sides Athabasca Hall, there is in 
course of erection Assiniboia Hall, 
which will be ready for occupa- 
tion either next fall or early in the 
college year. Additional dining- 
room accommodation is meeting 
with consideration, and it is un- 
derstood that the plans for a gym- 
nasium on the campus are likely 
to mature.

hesitation that we vacate the edi-

should not the “Gateway” become 
a strong and able enough produc-

the addition of a little outside help

The one thing to guard against 
would be the sacrifice of student 
interests: But the West -has 
enough interesting material for 
students and the public alike to 
warrant its reproduction. To have 
a university paper meeting with 
popular acceptance by reason of 
its merit, surely does not displace 
the student in its pages. But 
enough, with thanks to all who

this year’s work a success, ‘we

(Synopsis of Report of Prof. EH. W. 
Sheldon, Chairman.) 

During the current year the mem- 
bers of the Christian Association 
have carried on a good deal of work 
outside the University—‘extension 
work.” 

Last Fall the Walterdale Sunday 
School being anxious to start a 
men’s class, made application to us 
for assistance. One of the members 
of the prseent Sophomore year under- 
took the class at the 1st of November, 
and it has grown steadily. 

Several members of the Freshmen 
class and two of the Sophomore 
have assisted the Y.M.C.A. of Edmon- 
ton, and the Y. M. C. of Strathcona. 
The work among the boys on this side 
of the river has had a mere beginning 
this year, and our representative who 
taught the Bible class in connection 
with the School Boys’ Club, was re- 
quired for only five meetings. 

Under the auspices of the Edmonton 
Y.M.C.A., we have undertaken the 
teaching of English to two groups, one 
of Scandinavians, the other of Ruth- 
enians. The class of Ruthenians has 
averaged about eight, and at ten of 
its meetings has been taught by one 
of our students. The Scandinavian 
class has had an average attendance 
of about thirty, while the number of . 
men continuing regular work has been 
small. Four members of the class are 
women. All three nationalities, Danes, 
Swedes and Norwegians, have been re- 
presented. The class immediately af- 
ter its organization vanished, but was 
soon reassembled through the energe- 
tic action of. our two representatiives. 

Two students during the past month 
have been assisting Mr. Grobb, the 
boys’ secretary of ‘the Y.M.C.A., in 
building a gasoline launch, to be plac- 
ed at the disposal of the Y.M.C.A. 
boys’ summer camp. 

The Boys’ Debating Club in Mr. 
Grobb’s department has been assilsted 
by two students, who act as critic and 
judge respectively. 

It is impossible to overestimate the 
importance of giving every encourage- 
ment to such activities as this report 
outlines. As a University student 
body, we must not live unto ourselves, 
but like Christ’s Samaritan, we must 
be ready in every case where we can 
to be good neighbors.

Again the old yet ever new miracle of the Resurrection is being 
enacted around us. ‘The winter is over and gone, the time of the 
singing of birds is come. Old things are passing away, behold all 
things are being made new. 


In this northern land we miss much of the variety which makes 
more favored climes so beautiful at this season, but nowhere more 
than in our sunny province does spring bring with it that feeling 
of buoyant hopefulness so characteristic of the season. 


In this number we come to the end of our first year as a separate 
Woman’s Department. We have confined our efforts this year to 
reports of our own women’s societies; we have attempted no dis- 
cussion of women’s work in the great world outside. 


Many of our women students are new to university life—a few 
only have been transplanted from the older universities. Our pioneer 
attempts to discover lines of working best adapted to our part in 
the university life of this last great West have resulted, perhaps, 
mainly in developing that esprit de corps which is the atmosphere 
of the highest type of educational institution. 


Here’s a health to the hours departed, 
Farewell to our glad college years: 
Here’s a health to our future, light-hearted, 
We greet it with joy not with fears. 
One more: ’tis the last e’er we sever, 
Each voice in the chorus rings free— 
Dear Wauneita; we'll love you forever,

On March 1€, Dr. Kerr favored the 
Wauneita Society with an address on 
Marguerite de Navarre. The gracious 
personality of this wonderful woman 
of the Renaissance, her education, 
her life, as the central figure in the 
brilliant court of her brother, King 
Francis I, her work as an author, 
and one of the chief patronesses of 
letters which France possessed, were 
sketched in with the historical in- 
sight which made Marguerite de Na- 
varre seem a living presence of  to- 
day rather than a dim shadow of the 
16th century. 


The Wauneita Society held its regu- 
lar meeting on Tuesday, April 2nd. 
Professor MacEachran. favored us 
with an interesting address on “Stu- 
dent Days in Europe.” He dealt at 
length upon the student life in Ger- 
many, showing the attitude to wo- 
men students and the relation of the 
professors to the students. 


A very delightful apres temps, 
awarded the members after their meet- 
ing for Mrs. Lehmann with her usual 
gracious hospiitality, entertained the 
members at a most enjoyable itea. 
Mrs. Dyde and Mrs. Kerr presided ov- 
er the coffee and tea urns respectively, 
while Mrs. Tory cut the ices. Mrs. 
Sheldon, Mrs. Race and Miss Cross, of 
Toronto, were most attentive in pass- 
ing the dainty refreshments. 


A professor of McGill, Montreal, 
who has greatly endeared himself to 
the students on acconut of his kind- 
heartedness, has one particular failing 
—that of absent-mindedness. 

He visited his married nephew the 
other day and had listened to the 
young wife’s praise of her first-born. 

The gentleman felt that he must 
say something to give the impression 
that he was interested. 

“Can the dear little fellow walk?” 
he inquired quietly. 

“Walk!” the mother cried  indig- 
nantly. “Why, he has been walking 
for five months.” 

‘Dear me!” the professor exclaimed, 
lapsing again into abstraction, ‘what 
a long way he must have got.”

Historical Sketch of Alberta College 


As one of the oldest education- 
al institutions in the Province of 
Alberta undoubtedly Alberta Col- 
lege is worthy of notice. Its be- 
ginning was in June, 1908, when 
the Manitoba and North-West 
Conference of the Methodist 
Church authorized the formation 
of a College in Alberta. Wisely, 
Edmonton was selected as its lo- 
cation. ‘The committee appointed 
to organize such an institution 
met in July, and decided to ask 
INCA [fs Tek TRG Kolakethl, 1B 7A, 183 1B), 
at that time a professor in Wesley 
College, Winnipeg, to become the 
Principal. He took charge of the 
unpromising undertaking in Au- 
gust, 1908, and shortly afterwards 
was unfortunately stricken down 
with typhoid fever. This delayed 
matters for a while, but upon his 
recovery he began work in a hall 
on Jasper avenue on October 5th, 
1908, and ‘within a short time two 
extra teachers were required. It 
is worthy of note that the first 
teacher to join Principal Riddell 
was none other than Mr. C. E. 
Race, now Registrar of the Uni- 
versity of Allberta. 


The prospects were good from 
the first and the Board of Man- 
agement decided to erect the first 
College in Northern Alberta. No 
sooner was it opened than the en- 
terprise of the Board was fully jus- 
tified. October of that year found 
this new building crowded to oy- 
erflowing. A new and large addi- 
tion was made the following sum- 
mer, but this was still inadequate 
to meet the increasing demand. 

In the next two summers the 
old McDougall Church was fitted 
up and a boys’ dormitory erected. 
Each year found every available 
room occupied and a larger staff 
necessary to carry on the work. 

In March, 1910, the Board be- 
gan the erection of a Theological 
Collezes on ether University, 
grounds. ‘This affiliated institu- 
tion, costing $140,000, was com- 
pleted that year and opened for 
residence and lectures on January 
satel, ily 

This year 1911-12, has found 
even the present accommodation 
inadequate, and the Board has de- 
cided to build on a still larger 
scale. A new ladies’ residence 


42 THE GATEWAY 


with a thoroughly modern equip- 
ment will be commenced this year 
on the University grounds. 

No later than January of this 
year the College Board purchased 
240 acres of land on the south 
bank of the Saskatchewan river, 
three miles east of the Edmonton 
Post Office. At no distant date 
this site will be utilized for the 
erection of a number of  institu- 
tional buildings. In these will be 
carried on academic courses, tech- 
nical education, domestic science, 
manual training, and civics. 

Alberta College has not confin 
ed itself to any one department, 
but has always endeavored to help 
every student who has sought its 
aid. The former standing of the 
student has made no difference to 
the pursuit of this ideal. 

In view of the fact that there 
was an evident need growing out 
of the pioneer conditions of the 
West for an opportunity to be 
given those seeking an element- 
ary education, an academic course 
was the first to be established. In 
addition to this department, mu- 
sic, vocal expression and physical 
culture, as well as business and 
‘matriculation courses were placed 
on the curriculum. As the work 
developed, the College became af- 
filiated with McGill University, 


and the first two years of the Arts 
Course were undertaken. In 1908, 
when the University of Alberta 
was organized, Alberta College 
transferred its allegiance and its 
students to the new institution. In 
1909, theology was added to the 
course of studies, and as the need 
increases new departments will be 
added. 

The number of students has. in- 
creased at a remarkable rate. The 
first year there were seventy-three 
students registered in all depart- 
ments. he next year there were 
one hundred and_ seventy, and 
each succeeding year has seen a 
like increase. In 1909-10 the en- 
rolment was five hundred, 1910- 
11, five hundred and seventy-five 
and this year a grand total up-to- 


date of seven hundred has been 
reached. 
The work and growth of the 


College from the first has succeed- 
ed the expectation of the most op- 
timistic. Clear vision, strong 
faith and wise planning have char- 
acterized the College Board. \Vith 
Judge Taylor as chairman, and 
Dr. Riddell as its Principal, the 
outlook for the College is bright 
and encouraging, promising a 
foremost place for this pioneer in- 
stitution of the North-West.

As 


“Oorsel’s, 


‘This is to be tor “the good of 
the order:” JI am to write about 
Theological Students—a serious 
article. As if anything concern- 
ing us could be other! Yet such 
was the solemn injunction. I sup- 
pose there are some people who do 
not take ministers seriously; but 
we make wp for them for we take 
ourselves seriously enough, too 
seriously at times and when we 
feel quite self-satisfied we long for 
the candid friend—certain that he 
will confirm us in our own high 
opinion of ourselves. But 'let me 
anticipate what that disappointing 
fellow may say: I only report 
what I have heard; some day our 
apologist will come to the rescue 
and then we may go on our way 
serenely again. But now to the 
criticisms. 

The commonest and least signi- 
. ficant remark that is heard con- 
cerning Christian ministers is that 
we can be distinguished in a 
crowd by our clothes and our 
bearing. One day last winter I 
was helping a boy up the hill with 
his sled and when we reached the 
top he turned to me: “Can you 
tell me where the English Church 
Rectory is?” As I did not know, 
lad that he was, he showed he had 
missed his . guess: “Oh!—I 
thought you lived there.” So does 
our bearing bewray us, not only to 
the keen undergraduate but to 
the boy in the street. 

And that observation that we 
are marked men has had its influ- 


THE GATEWAY 


Ithers See Us.” 


ence upon us. Some, and not only 
we who are young, seek to give it 
the lie——we strive to pass for 
other than ministers. It matters 
little what sort of clothes one 
wears, and I think that as we grow 
older our antipathy to clerical at- 
tire will lessen, but why should a 
man be ashamed of the fact that 
his bearing proclaims him a min- 
ister? Every man whose heart is 
in ‘this work carries his mark. 
Lamb says the school-teacher has 
his; the soldier’s pride certainly is 
his martial bearing; and why 
should I be ashamed to have bran- 
ded on me my mark? What men 
despise is not true ministerial 
bearing but pretence and sham, 
patronizing condecension and pro- 
fessional aloofness. There is sure- 
ly something amiss if I can travel 
incognito and I take it that the 
minister should maintain among 
his fellow men the courtly and 
gracious presence of a gentleman, 
though without an estate. 

A more serious criticism is that 
we are intellectually lazy. Few, 
it must be confessed, escape the 
temptation, especially those of us 
who have any fatal facility with 
words. Why should we study? 
We have the answers to all the 
problems; whence we have come, 
whither we are going, the chief 
end of man—all answered in the 
catechism. And it looks as if 
they are answered right. Why 
then suffer the brain-fag incident 
to reading Kant and Hegel? Ram- 


THE GATEWAY 45 


say thinks Luke a first-rate his- 
torian and that the gospel that 
bears his name trustworthy. Why 
bother then with the mass of evi- 
dence he produces to support his 
his conclusions? Fairbairn thinks 
that in Jesus Christ God came to 
men in person. And the Cate- 
chism said much the same long 
before. Even in the Old Testa- 
ment where historical criticism 
has done most, the great deposit 
of religious truth remains quite 
unchanged. So the temptation to 
be lazy is real; and if we can no 
longer take things on authority, 
if we would give “an intellectual 
soul to the vision” of our faith, if 
in days of social and intellectual 
unrest we would be a steadying 
force and fulfil our ministry in 
strength we must take to the hard 
books and eschew the easy way. 
No man is more likely to frit- 
ter away his time than the preach- 
er; his freedom ‘brings him every 
opportunity to do so and he must 
learn to choose not good employ- 
ment of his time but the best. The 
atmosphere of many libraries of 
ministers which I have known has 
not been conducive to hard work. 
A man’s study, it seems to me 
should be far removed from the 
kitchen and the public entrance to 
his home; a place where he can 
“enter and shut—even bar—his 
door;” as bright, cheerful, well- 
lighted, roomy a room as the house 
has. Too often was his room in- 
intended for the pantry of the par- 
sonage. Here his serious hours 
must be spent, and happy that 
man,—I am quoting,—whose wife 
guards sacredly those study hours. 
Dr. Jowett tells how he used to be 
awakened by ‘the clatter of the 


clogs on the flags as the people 
passed his manse on the way to 
work, and it was the lighter clatter 
of the smaller clogs of the child- 
ren, early in the morning, that 
drove him to his study. 

Further it is said that the min- 
ister often holds himself aloof; at 
college he does not associate with 
his fellows, is seldom seen on the 
campus, shows no interest in stu- 
dent activities and is consequent- 
ly judged a prig. When among 
his parishioners he carries a super- 
ior air, thankful that he is not as 
other men are and consequently 
men are never at ease in his pre- 
sence. 

If this is true it marks a false 
note in us. The saints have ever 
been the ones most conscious of 
their own short-comings, most 
charitable and considerate of 
others, the last to set themselves 
above their fellowmen. St. Au- 
gustine and St. Paul could never 
forget the pit from which they had 
been digged. So if it is true that 
we hold ourselves aloof it is wrong 
in us. But I believe in many cas- 
es this is a misreading of the facts. 
Many a theological student does 
go about with a furtive step—not 
because he thinks himself better, 
but because he feels himself ostra- 
cized from the society of his fel- 
lows. The seemingly pious, su- 
perior air of the man on the field 
is often the apologetic manner of 
a too modest man. Each needs 
to assert his manhood and_ to 
walk erect and unabashed: Homo 
sum; humani nihil a me alienum 
puto.

THE INFLUENCE OF 
COLLEGE SOCIETIES 
ON STUDENT LIFE 


The man of ‘today has this much 
in common with cotton fabrics ; he 
is machine-made. The storm 
which burst over Europe and 
America towards the close of the 
eighteenth century, did not sub- 
side until it had set in motion for- 
ces, which continue to our day. 
Among the chief of these forces 
was that which transformed man 
from an integer to a _ fraction; 
from the proud, self-sufficient cre- 
ator of his own wealth-values to 
the highly accurate fly-wheel in a 
vast machine. 

Once our Society was a more or 
less voluntary federation of indi- 
viduals, loosely bound together by 
flimsy ties of tribe and creed. Now 
it has become a unit, incapable of 
disintegration, whose unbroken 
integrity is the only guarantee we 
have, of security anid life to the 
race. 

The machine ‘has overthrown 
the individual craftsman in every 
profession and trade. It is its 
power of organization which has 
made. the machine worth while. 
“Every man to his place,” is its 
slogan and it is profoundly intol- 
erant of all interests that might 
divert men’s minds from that. 

We are becoming highly spe- 
cialized. By the repetition of a 
single motion through a. long per- 
iod that motion becomes automa- 
tic and terribly exact. No longer 
are we makers of things but only 
of parts of things. Even such as 
a pin no man, alone, can fashion. 
The toil of forty-odd must go into 
the making of that pin. Too true 
it is, that ‘‘all are but parts of one

stupendous whole” and that, “the 
individual withers while the world 
is more and more.” 

Many signs of the time are om- 
inous but this most of all. We 
shall have no more History, for 
History is the record of irregular- 
ities, and the machine is cruelly 
exact. As cogs and bolts in the 
social machine we must needs be 
accurate too. 

The cry of today is “Specialize!” 
The age of the handy man is past. 
In this West he is making his last 
stand. But he will pass away and 
we shall all become highly-irained, 
mechanical, parts of the organized 
whole. 

The work of this age is to be 
done by men who are “determined 
to know nothing,” save one opera- 
tion and to become masters in that 
cne. ‘To attain success we shall 
have to atrophy all abilities; for- 
get all knowledge and despise all 
culture, that does not directly tend 
to that. 

On this score they are attaci- 
ing our Colleges ;—that, even the 
limited breadth of ‘the courses that 
we prescribe, wastes time. They 
believe that we are scattering our 
study over too wide an area and 
that our finished education will 
not be such as to fit us for the 
particular task we must perform. 

This view, moreover, tends to 
to lead us to read the success of 
an education in terms alone of bet- 
ter salaries and higher positions 
for each one in his own line of 
work. ‘he machine demands it 
of us and will, fittingly, indemnify 
us, if we bend all energies towards 
making ourselves, each, nearer 
perfect for the groove in which we 


_ are to move. 


But:at times the conviction is 
strong’ upon us that this is but a

passing phase; that, somehow, the 
man of the future must be a com- 
posite man, full-orbed, wide  vi- 
sioned, and complete. For it was 
thus that nature made us, each a 
trinity, of body, mind and_ soul, 
each with its own appetites, each 
with its own desires, not to be re- 
pressed but to be satisfied. 

The specialist may be a necessi- 
ty. He is, without doubt, a val- 
uable part of the organization, 
whatever it may be. ‘To his em- 
ployer he is an asset of value, even 
as mills and factories are. But is 
his specialization so great an asset 
to himself? We came here not to 
labour but to live. Our labour 
should be the spontaneous’ ex- 
pression of our life and all its God- 
given faculties. Perhaps we must 
lay an emphasis here or there but 
only as an emphasis. 

The training of labour may be 
technical; the training for life 
must be wide. The bent-backed 
bookkeeper, whose long future is 
a vista of fours and fives to be ad- 
ded and multiplied forever; his is 
not life. ‘The mechanic, beating 
the same hammer on the same an- 
vil through long decades, may be 
a success as a hammerer; but he 
is hardly a success at the task of 
living in the fullest sense of that 
betine 

No! The learning of Life’s se- 
cret is a monopoly to that man, 
alone who either by kindly fate or

dent a complete and many-sided 
man. The Athletic Society, to 
direct the expression of our phy- 
sical selves and to give us the full- 
est scope for such expression along 
healthy lines. The Literary So- 
ciety, to supply the social element 
that is needful, and to add to the 
regular training, an education, not 
so profound but more pleasant, be- 
cause more diversified. The Y. 
M. C. A., whose emphasis is more 
especially on the soul of man; the 
soul, like to the others in its need 
for expression, inflicting grievous 
penalties where that expression is 
refused. 

No matter how profound I may 
be, if I be not wider than I am 
deep, I am lopsided. If I am a 
soul to the neglect of mind and 
body, I am a disembodied spirit, 
or soon to ‘be. If my mind be 
strong, even ‘to the height of gen- 
ius, and ‘have not equipoise, I have 
failed. ‘The thoughts of a mind 
in a diseased body are themselves 
diseased. If my body be in an- 
guish, my speaking and my writ- 
ing will but reflect my bitterness 
and pain. 

But chiefly, if my body or even 
my mind be developed at the ex- 
pense of my finer emotions, it is 
calamitous. For the soul sheds 
over all the rest, a softening radi- 
ance and makes all rough things 
beautiful. ‘This gives me joy in 
my striving and this gives me 
peace for my pain.

Robertson, the new college 
which opened last fall, did not 
start any too soon. ‘The faculty 
did not expect more than five stu- 
dents, but eleven enrolled, and 
twenty would be a fair number to 
expect for next session. 

The building, as will be seen by 
the picture, is nothing more than 
a large house. ‘he House Com- 
mittee is considering the advisa- 
bility of a second building to ac- 
commodate the expected students 
for 1912-1918. The building will 
likely be somewhere in the neigh- 
borhood of the present one. 

The furnishing of the second 
building will probably be in the 
hands of the Robertson Woman’s 
Guild. “The Guild is preparing to 
extend its operatioys to other 
parts of the province, and is hop- 
ing for a general’ meeting of 
Presbyterian women at the next 
synod. The Guild is a.very ag- 
gressive organization. It has al- 
ready furnished the college and 
from its surplus donated a schol- 
arship. It also purposes to under- 
take the furnishing of the build- 
ing we all hope to see on the Uni- 
versity grounds in the near fu- 


ture.

The Library 


The library was the gift of thir- 
ty-five donors and contains about 


HayEs 715, EpIvor 


365. volumes. The aim of the 
college is to have 1,000 by Christ- 
mas of this year. The next thing 
is to have a Travelling Mission- 
aries’ Branch for extra-mural stu- 
dents and others who are in need 
of books. Sixty-one dollars is on 
hand to purchase books for this 
branch, which will likely be in 
operation this fall. Such a library 
will be of real value in a small 


Way. 
* * * 


Scholarships 


There will be eight scholarships 
available for the students of this 
college next session. ‘wo (value 
$50.00 each) are for extra-murals 
exclusively. The total value of 
all the scholarships is $400.00.

The distance between Robertson 
and the University prevents the 
students of this college from con- 
tributing in any degree to Univer- 
sity activities. ‘he erection of a 
building on the University 
grounds will remove this obstacle.

ATHLETICS 


H. J. Dean, °18 


Review of the Year 


Seeing that this is the last edi- 
tion of ‘he Gateway for the col- 
lege year, it might be of interest 
to some to know just what has 
been done by the University in 
athletic lines since the opening 
last fall. Although no very great 
honors were secured, nevertheless 
Alberta has been represented in 
every branch of athletics played 
in fall and winter. Undoubtedly 
the greatest success this year was 
attained on the gridiron as_ the 
Varsity captured both the Inter- 
mediate and Junior champion- 
ships in the Provincial Union. 
Besides having plenty of material 
necessary for winning these titles, 
there were five University men 
playing on the Y.M.C.A. team 
in the Big Four, with the Edmon- 
ton Eskimos and two Calgary 
teams. Of course these pafticular 
players were not permitted to 
play in either Intermediate or 
Junior games, yet it goes to show 
that the time for a senior team 
from Alberta is now almost ripe. 
In fact it is the intention of the 
University to enter a senior team 
next fall if possible, and even if 
only two or three more good play- 
ers come next fall, Varsity ought 
to be able to make a very credit- 
able showing. 


Just in passing it might be not- 
ed that neither of the champion- 
ship trophies won by the Univer- 
sity have arrived yet, and evident- 
ly the Junior medals are peaceful- 
ly reposing along with the cups 
somewhere in Alberta—probably 
in Calgary. 

Association football also gets 
its share of attention. Although 
fall and spring are not very suit- 
able times for this particular 
branch of sport, yet the best has 
been made of the circumstances, 
and the pigskin comes in for a 
good many ‘hard ‘bumps at that. 
Last fall a challenge was forward- 
ed, very late in the season, from 
Saskatchewan Varsity and in less 
than one week a team was chosen. 
When the visitors arrived, they 
were up against a pretty - good 
eleven. The challengers won by 
three goals to one, but the local 
boys did well considering only 
one practice had been held prey- 
ious to the game. Next fall things 
will be different and a strong ef- 
fort will be made to turn the ta- 
bles on the students down in the 
education factory at Saskatoon. 

Hockey, Canada’s greatest win- 
ter game, and undoubtedly the 
most popular game in the whole 
Dominion, was certainly not ne-

glected last winter. Unfortunate- 
ly a misunderstanding at the com- 
mencement of the season was re- 
sponsible for a great deal of trou- 
ble in the University. As a’ re- 
sult no less than five senior men 
were lost for the Intercollegiate 
league team. However, these five 
with a few interested, formed the 
so-called ‘‘Varsity” team, and 
made a very creditable showing 
inthe A. H: A.. This “Varsity” 
team, at the end of the season was 
one of the strongest teams in the 
entire province. Besides defeat- 
ing several of the strongest teams 
in Northern Alberta, they won the 
Brackman-Ker cup and as a result 
are the first senior champions of 
Greater Edmonton. he Maritim- 
ers, who were the challengers, 
were defeated in three out of four 
games, by Varsity for the cup. 
There were four University stu- 
dents on the championship team. 

The Intercollegiate seven were, 
as the poet would say, “rather up 
against it’ all winter, and did not 
finish very high up, so far as 
standing goes. 

Basketball also has a strong fol- 
lowing at Alberta, and the Var- 
sity team has been looked upon 
for the past two yers as one of 
the strongest organizations in the 
city. Strange to say the students 
have occupied second place in the 
senior league for two years in 
succession. This year, just like 
last winter, the Varsity team lost 
the championship at the very 
close of the League 

Besides these outdoor and _ in- 
door sports, there is a boxing and 
wrestling club in the University. 
As yet this branch of athletics is 
only in its primitive stages, but 
undoubtedly next year greater ac- 
tivities will be seen in this line.

When college days are over 
And hoods of green we claim, 


And many a girl of 1912 


Has letters to her name, 
Then when we friends must sever 
Will our longing hearts be turned 
To books and old translations 
And essays dry and learned, 


Or to the fun and frolic 


And the merry, merry cheer 
Of the good old days, the dear old days, 
In the good old, dear old year?

groups could be found at almost any 


hour of the day or night discussing 
the favorite candidate. Fully half of 
the candidates nominated for office 


in the Student’s Union for next year 
are resident students. In many cases 
it was a most difficult matter to 
make a choice. The best of feeling 
prevailed throughout the electioneer- 
ing campaign and the fact that some 
were defeated at the polls has not 
affected the harmony of our faculty 
circle. Here’s wishing every one of 
the new officers a most prosperous 
term of office. 

Work on the new residence building 
has begun in earnest and Mr. Hart- 
ley expects to have fully 200 work- 
men on the job before the end of 
April. It will be a great pleasure to 
return in the fall and find our quar- 
ters doubled in size, besides having

The ladies in residences entertained 
their friends on Saturday, March 
30th, at an informal “hop,” given ip

light lunch was served in the Waun-

was spent to all who attended and 
the party broke up about 12 o’clock. 

Mr. Will Sutter, commonly known 
as “Happy,” was unfortunate enough

teresting to residents, as the educa- 
tional policy dealt largely with con- 
ditions ‘‘Waste-basket” Hall, the dis- 
guised name for “Athabasca.” The 
Government recommended changing 
the name to ‘“Do-the-boys” Hall and 
brought in a proposal to take away 
self-government and to invest all 
power in one Mrs. Jones, seeing that 
the students had done and said many 
foolish things besides publishing 
much malicious and hurtful matter 
in their pamphlet, the “Door Jam.” 
The whole proposal was ably criti- 
cized by the members of the Opposi- 
tion and the Government’s measure 
fell through with the rest of its policy 
when iit went down to defeat on March 
28th. 


MOCK PARLIAMENT 


The sessions of the Mock Parlia- 
ment, held under the auspices of the 
Literary Society during the past 
month, have been extremely interest- 
ing and profitable. Every student 
has been allotted a constituency and 
the large attendance at all the ses- 
sions has proven to the “Lit,” execu- 


tive that students can be interested 
in this branch of the society’s work. 
The first session on March 15th, 
was held with a full house. The 
speech from the throne was delivered 
and many a politician in embryo was 
brought to light in the discussion that 
followed. Early in the week prev- 
ious to the second session, it began 
to be noised that the Opposition would 
“go strong” against. the “Co-ed” Dill. 
These rumors were more than streng- 
thened, when on March 29th, the Min- 
ister of Finance, Hon. L. Y. Cairns, 
member for Edmonton, supported by 
a much thinned following, presented. 
the bill which was destined to be de- 
feated by the Opposition, who in num- 
bers and eloquence were strong. <A 
continuous debate on both sides were 
presented in a manner that gave evi 
dence of zeal, wit and persistence. 
Perhaps the speech of the evening 
was the “maiden” speech of Miss Wil- 
son, the member for Galahad. The 
Premier, Hon. W. F. Dyde, member for 
Millet, early saw that he was to be 
defeated, but put up a good fight to 
the last. His motions for adjourn- 
ment. and his long-winded quotations

from the latest copy of “Life” and mil- 
inery opening circulars proved of no 
avail, however, and the vote of want 
of confidence, which was introduced 
by Hon. G. D. Misener, member for 
Strathcona, was carried. The leader 
of the Opposition was ably supported 
by his party, who, like good politi- 
cians, stood with him to a man. The 
Government was weakened in num- 
bers and in dissension among the 
ranks. The honorable member from 
Ponoka, C. C. Moeller, caused consid- 
erable amusement when he “flopped” 
and spoke for both sides of the de- 
bate. 

A notable figure was that of the 
Speaker, who, in his gown of office 
and from his elevated position, regu- 
lated tthe debate to the satisfaction of 
all. The new Premier, Hon. H. G. 
Nolan, member for Calgary, has chos- 
en his cabinet and some more inter- 
esting sessions are expected before 
the parliament prorogues for final 
exams. 

NOTES OF THE MONTH 


Now that the hockey has ended for 
one more year, association football is 


again coming into its own. Several 
practices have (been held during 
the past two or three weeks, and ar- 
rangements for games with several of 
the Edmonton teams have been 
made. Prospects for a good soccer 
team for next fall are’ very bright 
now, because the games this spring 
will certainly give the management 
a splendid opportunity to get a line 
on ali the football talent. President 
Towerton has ‘been very busy of late 
rustling out the players for practice 
and he is bent on invading Saska- 
toon next fall with a victorious team, 
so as to avenge the defeat handed out 
by Saskatchewan Varsity to Alberta 
last year. 

The baseball enthusiasts have also 
been very busy lately, and although 
nothing definite has been arranged 
up to the time of writing, it is more 


than likely that a few games will be 


played with the city teams before 
the lectures close this spring. There 
is plenty of talent available in the 
University and a strong nine could 


easily be gotten up.

We have come ‘to the close of the 
chapter and it may be interesting to 
review what others think of us by 
quoting significant sentences from 
the pages of our exchanges. We ac- 
knowledge the usual list this month 
and anticipate a similar reciprocation 
in following years: 

™ * * 
St. John’s Magazine: “The Gateway 


has a ‘humorous editor’ this year.” 
* * * 


The Argosy: “A spurring on of the 
printers to do better work would add 
attractiveness to the literary value of 
the material.” 

* * * 


Mount Royal Chinook (Calgary): 
“Several minor articles might be rele- 
gated to the josh department. The 
magazine seems to present an oppor- 
tunity for improvement in paper, type 


_and material and for some executive 


abilities in the arrangement of. its 
departments.” 
* * * 


‘Brandon College Quill: “The Gate- 
way smacks more of the HEye-opener 
than of college halls.” 

cd * * 

Almafilian: ‘This young institution 
is making rapid strides towards the 
front.” 

* * * 


Manitoba College Journal: “The 
Gateway as usual is breezy and gives 
more than an insight into student life 
at the University of Alberta.” 


BoB sk 


McGill Daily: “Combining an attrac- 
tive get-up with an interesting and 
amusing interior, it rivals the older 
and more experienced journals of 
much larger seats of learning.”

University of New Brunswick 
Monthly: “We always have a healthy 
laugh whenever The Gateway comes.

themselves too seriously. Let them

Where did the custom of a “dry” 
dinner originate? This term originat- 
ed during a time of drought in the 
seven lean years; four in Arts and 
three in Theology.—McGill Daily. 


“Why were Adam and Eve driven 
from the Garden of Eden?” asked the 
Sunday school teacher. “I suppose be- 
cause they started to raise Cain,” re- 
plied the boy at the foot of the class. 


Tommy—The papers say if you 
smoke cigarettes it changes your com- 
plexion. 

Willie—That’s right, I’m always 
tanned when I get caught smoking 
them. 


Bertie and Agnes were sitting to- 
gether in the moonlight uttering ten- 
der nonsense. 

“And,” said the girl bravely, “If pov- 
erty comes, we will face it together.” 

“Ah! dearest,” he replied, ‘the 
mere sight of your face would: scare 
the wolf away.” 

Ever since he has been wondering 
why she returned ‘the ring.

When Tommy had the tummyache 
And the doctor came, said he: 

“Are you in pain?” and Tommy sobbed 
“No, sir, the pain’s in me.” 


“Did you know,” said a man who 
was reading about the contraction of 
metals, “that a clock ticks faster in 
winter ‘than in summer?” 

“No, I never noticed that about a 
clock. But I know a gas-meter does.” 


“When was the Revival of Learn- 
ing?” 

“Just before the Examinations.’— 
Ex. 


“This is where I get off,’ observed 
the awkward rider when his horse pro- 
ceeded to do some fancy bucking.

A Style Note for Men 


In leading American fashion centres 
there is a great call for Camel Browns and 
Purple Blues — either plain or with a 
pronounced two-tone twill effect. They 
are not radical or extreme—tbey are fash- 
ionable and in good taste. 


So much for the new materials, now 
for the tailoring. The collars are hand 
felled, shoulders and lapels hand padded, 
the fronts are hair clothed to preserve 
shapeliness, the interlinings are the best 
quality, so there will be no “giving” or 
shrinking. The materials themselves are 
the finest imported Woollens and taking it 
altogether it is costly clothing to make-- 
and every cent buys value. 


These Suits are $22.00, 
$25.00 and $28.00 


According to the material
